My mom gets buy with an Emachine, one of first dual core P4's, I maxed out the RAM at 2gigs and installed Werewolf. It purrs,like a kitten, but then she isn't a power user either. My own is a dual core Athlon 4200 with 3gigs, also running Werewolf, I built that about , oh , 18 - 24 months ago? sounds right. It was right around the time the socket AM2 had just come out. My sense of time is skewed, I usually don't remember what day of the week it is ; ) I bought my girlfriend a laptop for her birthday and put F8 on that too. My theory is that if i have to maintain it for free then your running the OS of my choice! Plus I learn alot more that way, though I expected to have to set up remote access to administer my Mom's but she hasn't had any trouble out of it so I left the ssh turned off and the remote desktop too. I get over there once a week or so , now that I live close to home again. I'll tell you what though, most of the cheap Vista boxes have at least 2 gb RAM now, and your talking under $400 for the tower, by itself mind you, no flatscreen or anything but definitely dual-core. I have a p3 w/512 ram test box I use on a regular basis for experimentation and an old k6-2 266 or 300 MHz that runs FreeNAS for storage, i think it used to belong to my sister but she's moved on to a Mac now. I will get her running Linux of some kind sooner or later. My Dad doesn't have a computer but he doesn't care, I want to setup a Linux media center for him but first I need a decent box to get it running on, it'll probably be awhile though. I've scrapped a couple of junkers, poor things, just weren't worth the investment to keep them running. I can probably still get some p3 boxes though for under $100 but only 256MB RAM and a 10gb harddrive. Hardly media center quality. I got my F8 at work too, she's a real trooper that box is, used and abused. Still ticking and kicking!!
